The Kingdom of West Breifne (Irish Breifne Ua Ruairc) or Breifne O'Rourke was a historic kingdom of Ireland that existed from 1256 to 1605, located in the area that is now County Leitrim. It took its present boundaries in 1583 when West Breifne was shired and renamed Leitrim, after the village of Leitrim, which was an O'Rourke stronghold. The kingdom came into existence after a battle between the ruling O'Rourke clan and the ascendant O'Reillys caused the breakup of the older Kingdom of Breifne and led to the formation of East Breifne and West Breifne. The kingdom was ruled by the O'Rourke clan and lasted until the early 17th century, when their lands were confiscated by England.

  • Ríocht Ghaelach stairiúil ba ea Bréifne Thiar (nó Breifne Uí Ruairc, a bhí ann ón mbliain 1256 go dtí 1605, suite i gContae Liatroma an lae inniu. Tháinig ann don ríocht tar éis cogadh ar feadh i bhfad idir clanna Uí Ruairc agus Uí Raghallaigh, agus deighleadh ríocht Bhréifne ina Bréifne Thoir agus Bréifne Thiar. Cruthaíodh a teorainneacha reatha sa bhliain 1583 nuair a rinneadh contae de Bhréifne Thiar agus tugadh an t-ainm Liatroim air, as an sráidbhaile, dún Uí Ruairc. Bhíodh muintir Uí Ruairc i gceannas ann go dtí an 17ú haois, nuair a coigistíodh a gcuid tailte ag Ríocht Shasana. (ga)
